What is the Braille Challenge? The Braille Challenge is a reading and writing competition held at Maryland School for the Blind.  Braille Challenge contest categories include reading comprehension, writing speed and accuracy, proofreading, spelling, and reading tactile charts and graphs. As students take tests parents/guardians attend workshops. At the end of the day families can visit vendors and participate in a variety of activities. All participants receive a prize!  Students' scores are submitted to the National Braille Institute to see if they are among 1 of 50 students in the United States and Canada to qualify for the National Braille Challenge in California. If you'd like to learn  more visit the following website: http://www.brailleinstitute.org/braille-challenge-homepage.html. Registration will be available soon and hope to see you there!
